Presentation transcript:

Competition occurs whenever more than one individual or population tries to make use of the same resource.

What are some examples of competition? Competition occurs whenever more than one individual or population tries to make use of the same resource. What are some examples of competition?

Limiting Factors: anything that restricts the number of individuals in a population….includes the living (biotic) and nonliving (abiotic) features of the ecosystem.

Water

Living Space How many hamsters can How many fish should live or should live in this habitat? How many fish should live in this aquarium?

Mates

Nesting Sites and Shelter

Limiting Factors, pg 594 Read the 3 paragraphs about limiting factors. Write down your own example of a limiting factor in an ecosystem.

Carrying Capacity Definition: the largest number of individuals of one species that an ecosystem can support over time. Think/Pair/Share: What would happen to populations if there were no limiting factors?
